Baumer magnetic sensors have a detection speed of up to 20,000 measurements per second. Since they work on a contactless principle and do not contain any moving parts like ball bearings, for example, they are maintenance- and wear-free, easy to handle and install, and are completely unaffected by soiling. This makes them absolutely indispensable in many applications, guarantees long service times and allows them to be used reliably in rail applications or in commercial vehicles.

Depending on the application, magnetic sensors offer a practical alternative to encoders or inductive sensors.

Baumer offers you a comprehensive and modular portfolio of different technologies (Hall sensors, proximity switches, cylinder sensors) and designs, and thus the ideal solution for all applications.

◎ Hall Sensors

- Detection of speed and direction of rotation of rapidly rotating gear wheels

- Very little maintenance needed because they are wear-free

- Special robust versions available

◎ Magnetic Proximity Switches

- Reliable and wear-free object detection

- Large sensing distances of up to 60 mm

- Their functionality is not affected by soiling or humidity

◎ Magnetic Cylinder Sensors

- Detection of final positions in all conventional cylinders

- Different versions and versatile fitting accessories for maximum flexibility

Capacitive sensors can detect metallic, non-metallic, transparent, opaque, liquid and solid, conductive and non-conductive substances reliably without the need for contact. They are thus well suited to detecting diverse objects or also bulk goods and liquids. These "all-rounders" are available in a large number of different designs and versions, and can also be implemented in very flat and space-saving designs

Ultrasonic sensors for reliable detection, independent of color or transparency

If you cannot feel you must listen.

Ultrasonic proximity sensor, through beam and retro-reflective sensors detect objects or fill levels independent of their color or transparency and are incredibly unaffected by soiling. They provide the greatest precision throughout the entire detection area. Different sonic cone profiles allow the sensor to be individually adjusted according to the object, environment and accessibility.

Baumer Areas of application

Through beam sensors

Due to their non-pulsed operation, through beam sensors, consisting of emitter and receiver, exhibit the fastest response time of all ultrasonic sensors.

Applications include:

- detection of objects following each other in quick succession

- counting of objects made of materials which are difficult to detect (glass jars, PET bottles)

Baumer is a development pioneer and one of the leading manufacturers of inductive sensors – the heart and soul of all machines. As individual items or in large quantities - we deliver standard products in various housing sizes with different sensing distances. But always with the same high quality.

These include miniature sensors with fully integrated processing electronics for applications in cramped spaces as well as especially robust sensors for outdoors and hygienic applications in stainless steel housings with high protection classes and our sealing concept proTect+. And if the standard solution doesn't fit, or to find an innovative solution for specific tasks, we can also produce individual models to customers' specifications.

Strain links measure the surface strain between the support surfaces. Strain links are ideally suited for measurements on rigid structures. Depending on design strain links can be used in cyclical and static applications.

With the U500 sensor, the Baumer Group now expands the portfolio of NextGen sensors to ultrasonic technology. Thanks to OneBox Design, the new sensors are identical in design and size with their series O500 photoelectric counterparts. This offers the user maximum flexibility in the planning phase or during later conversion measures.
